U, Nov. 2.—The Special In- vestigating Committoe appcinted last spring to examinc, among othier things, into the clection of John J. Patterson as United Statea Benator {n 1572, submitted a report. The report gives an epitome of the testimony taken before the Commictees, including about forty ex-members of tho Legislature, white and colorea Republie aus, whose evidenco concurs in the statement that Patterson’s election was sccured through bribory. About twenty teatiticd that they were bribed, cither personslly by Patterson, or- his sgent Worthington, rocelviog amounts ranging from $100 to $1,000, About twenty more testi- ficd that ofers of bribes wero made to them and retused. Elllott, cologed, ex-member of Con- gress, who was Patterson’s most formidable oppouent, was offcred §15,000 to withdraw from tho coutest, which ho refused. The offer was made by J. B, Dennis, in.tho name of Patter- son. Maj. Martin R. Delaney, colored, was pres- ent and corroborated Elllott's statement. Gov. Moscs afterward appointed J. B. Dennis Jury Commissioner to draw juries for the protection of Patterson when he was indicted in 1873 for procuring his election , by byibery, and the ar- raogement was successfully completod. Every witness testified that it was generally known among the members that Pattérson was purchasing bis election. The_ evideuce shows that votes were bought whilo'tha clection was fn progress. Maxwell, colored Scnator, was pald to change his yote to Patterson, which gava him nmajority o the Scnate, und avolded the necessity of a jolnt assembly thu next duy. TIE BTRUGGLE.
